http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi I am a fedora 17 newbie and a complete fan now. In fact, I totally got rid of Windows in my ASUS k42dy laptop. I noticed that fedora has it's own software center (just like ubuntu) and Yum Extender (I believe it's like Ubuntu's synaptic package manager). I am trying to install some games/apps let's say Open Arena, Frozen Bubble and etc. I noticed that installing this apps via YumExender takes a lot of time considering that I have a 10MB internet connection. I can say this because I tried installing the same apps back when I was in Ubuntu and I can say that the speed is different (the latter (HowTos)

In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you can explore new upcoming apps or undiscovered cool apps – easily using Ubuntu Software Center. Now, some proprietary cool games are also available, besides the huge collection of free softwares.

Games and mulitimedia seem to be the preferred choice of Ubuntu users when it comes to paid stuff.

I´am playing with Software Center's API, after seeing this post on askubuntu.

My question is: how can I get a list of all Ubuntu Software Center's apps?

From the other question I get this endpoint for retrieving all apps: http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/any/ubuntu/any/any/

But the problem is it looks like it only returns 580 apps.

But on appnr.com it seems their a lot m

I've been trying to reinstall all my purchased apps on a new machine, and I ran into a problem. Because of the size of them (about 10-12GB in total) and the fact that downloading them is painfully slow for whatever reason (at most 800kB/s), it takes a lot of time (not to mention USC crashing).

Canonical has made available an interesting statistic about the top paid application that were sold through Ubuntu Software Center.

Surprisingly, the chart with the most download free apps from Ubuntu Software Center contains fewer games than the one enumerating the paid apps.

The tenth place is occupied by Maj... (read more)
